Bald Mountain Camps Resort

We took our boys here for a Valentine’s dinner. It was DELICIOUS! Our waitress (the chef’s wife) was lovely and knew their food quite well. The hostess was charming. We had the Thai chicken, fish & chips, and chicken tenders. We also enjoyed two of the desserts. Everything was nicely prepared and presented. The dining room atmosphere was comfortable and «lodge like.» We plan to come back when we’re here in the summer.

This was our first time eating at the restaurant. It was an awesome experience. We arrived just in time for the sunset which we were able to watch while we ate our dinner. Our reservations were for 7:30 pm and when we arrived at 7:15 we were told that we couldn’t be seated until 7:30. It felt a little like a Seinfeld episode. Our waitress was awesome and the food was equally as good. We had the dumplings as an appetizer which were the best we have ever tasted. Our waitress recommended the chicken pot pie… by the way she was the chefs wife… and she was very well versed on how it was made. It came in a cast iron skillet with a light flakey crust. And she was right… it was delicious!

Terrible experience! Total scam. Completely unprofessional. My wife, my sister, my sister’s boyfriend, and I (all in our 30’s) went to Bald Mountain Camps Resort to rent a pontoon boat. Despite only having time for a 3 hour trip around the lake they still charged us full price for a half-​day (4-​hr) rental. The first boat they provided had an ignition problem and wouldn’t start, so they retrieved another pontoon further cutting into our time. This second boat was 2ft longer and cost a bit more, but they promised that they would not charge us for the larger boat. The second boat was filthy, with standing water in the storage compartments, and had no anchor! After a hasty intro to the boat we were on our way. While out on the lake we decided to go swimming only to find out that there was no ladder to get back into the boat! It was nearly impossible to get back in, and I ended up slicing my foot on a sharp edge of the boat. With no anchor or ladder on the pontoon, what’s the point? Despite this we had a very nice, (although quick) time with the boat and enjoyed ourselves. Upon arriving and waiting to hear what the total for fuel would cost, an older bearded man whom we had not yet met stormed directly at me and began yelling about how we had damaged his boat. His demeanor was startling and very aggressive. The young man whom we originally rented from then claimed «I knew we would have a problem with you!» Having no idea what was happening, I asked for an explanation. The older man ordered us to follow him back to the boat. He showed us the propeller and there was a few scratches and nicks on it. I assured him that we had not caused this damage, and never even came close to bottoming out. His temper then flared as I argued our case and he began screaming directly into my face. It was very intimidating and completely unprofessional. As I continued to argue, the other men who worked there surrounded me and my sister’s boyfriend as if we were going to be attacked over a $ 125 propeller. Eventually, I gave up and paid the extra $ 125, plus an exorbitant amount for fuel, plus they charged us extra for the longer pontoon that we never wanted. I can only assume that these people are scam artists and prey on out-​of-​towners and tourists. Stay clear of this place!

Got the prime rib, it was real nice. Equaly as nice was the wait out front by the water (we were early). My wife enjoyed her pork tenderloin but I made the right choice.
